Primary Election Night

Against four opponents, the Arkansas State Senator won the popular vote with 40 % of the vote in the Democratic primary for the U.S. House seat in Arkansas' 2nd District. In Arkansas, a candidate must win just over 50 % of the popular vote to win the nomination, so she'll face Speaker of the Arkansas House Robbie Wills in a June 8 run-off.
